On My Mind
Ripe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really know
Don't know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and it could make me jealous
Poured it down
So I poured it down
Next thing that I know I'm in a hotel with you
You were talking deep like it was mad love to you
But I just liked your tattoos
Poured it down
So I poured it down
And my heart don't understand this
You don't mess with love
You mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say this
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
I always hear
Always hear them talking
Talking 'bout a girl
'Bout a girl with money
Saying that I hurt you
But I just don't get it
You didn't love me
No, not really
Wait
I could have really liked you
I guess I guess
That's why I can't stop thinking 'bout you
It's a shame
You thought I was cool
So I poured it down
Yes, I poured it down
And my heart don't understand this
You don't mess with love
You mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say this
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
You've got yourself
In a dangerous zone
'Cause we both have a fear
Fear of being alone
And my heart don't understand it
You don't mess with love
You mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say this
I don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you love somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
The lyrics of Ripe’s song On My Mind exude confusion about a relationship that started in a blurry manner. The singer is unsure of how things started between them and does not understand the intentions of their partner. However, they are aware that they found their partner attractive and thought they could make them jealous. They eventually end up in a hotel with their partner, who talks deep as if it were mad love. The singer likes their partner’s tattoos but is not sure if their love is genuine.
The singer confesses that they cannot stop thinking about their partner, even though they do not understand their feelings. They continue to hear people talking about a girl with money whom they allegedly hurt, even though they argue that their partner did not love them. There is a fear of being alone, and both parties are playing with the truth instead of just falling in love. The singer’s heart does not comprehend their complicated feelings, but they still cannot stop thinking about their partner.
In essence, the song highlights the confusion that comes with trying to understand one's feelings as they navigate a relationship. The lyrics also suggest that people often get involved with others because they are afraid of being alone without necessarily having strong feelings for their partner.

Been around music for a long, long time. Used to work in the industry doing security and I've had the luck to get paid to hang out and listen to some of the greatest music makers in the world. Your covers are great but your originals just are off the hook. Your music period is addictive. You guys are meant to play together and I look forward to when I can find some of your music being covered by other bands simply because EVERYONE is listening to you!! Never stop! Vocals, all of it-can not get enough!
@jackcrone8151
One of the best and tightest bands heard for a long long time 👌🏻👌🏻
@ripelove
Man thats something. Much love Jack thanks for being a part of the family!
@bshpev
I found you guys through Spotify about a year ago, fell in love with your sound and showed everyone how amazing your stuff is. I like to tell people that you're like "King's of Leon's singer without the pretentiousness + No doubt's ability to implement horns seamlessly into their compositions. Sick guitar solo's and AMAZING bass-lines."
I heard this song a few weeks back, and I didn't even know it was an ellie goulding song (to the point where when it played at work I was shocked at the difference).
True story, it was such jams that I got depressed because I haven't played my bass in like 6 months and it made me get back into/remember my love of music! XD
So, legit thanks, and major props to what's become my favourite band of the decade, maybe ever if you keep making such great songs/EPs/Albums.
@williamharmar2788
It's rare to find a band so skilled and so passionate at the same time. Never stop!
@PackdHouse
Found you guys on my Spotify discover list about a month ago and I've been hooked ever since! Haven't heard a song yet from you guys that hasn't blown me away! Keep up the incredible work and I'll keep sharing with anyone who will listen! :D -John
@alexnewkirk311
Every release from you guys just impresses more, don't have enough superlatives, keep making this kind of music! The level of tightness and efficiency of Berklee musicians is off the charts. Hope to catch a show, you guys the best new band I've heard in years
@JPaqUSC
Holy shit. Unreal. This band is the whole package. Love the flow. Peace and love guys.
@ripelove
You're a part of that whole package <3 thanks for making us feel awesome
@dasupalouie
You guys deserve more views! This is so fresh and awesome!
